Gardeners' Notes:

Bought 4 of these to surround an old hydrangea. i don't know how this is a dwarf Gaillardia as the flower stalks on mine are about 2 feet tall and don't stand erect. They get about 5 hours of full sun. I am moving them to a different area where there is a longer sun exposure, maybe they will be more erect. Replacing them with daylilies.

Nice little plant, I have mine in a container. Lots of flowers and very low to the ground. Good front of the bed material. Stays nice and compact no matter if I let it get dry or over water it. I collected seeds, this one is a keeper even if I need to propagate it every few years.

Very floriferous. Blooms non-stop all summer long! Looks like an annual the way it blooms with beautiful bright yellow flowers. Looks great next to my red Burgundy Gaillardia. It should be deadheaded regularly to clean up all the spent blooms. Most Gaillardias tend to be short-lived perennials, burning out after a few years, but they reseed readily.

Very nice flower but never seems to be the perenial it is said to be zone 6. Does great all summer but does not come back. I replant it each year because it is a very nice long lasting bloom. I never dead head all flowers because I've heard letting it reseed helps it return, but it never has for me.

I bought a dwarf gaillardia from a nursery, and planted it in a sandy, rocky soil around our mailbox, and it has definitely thrived there. This area doesn't get as much watering as other areas, and yet it is still doing well.

I grew these from seed about 6-7 mos ago and have just had my 1st flower, however the leaves always look a bit limp or wilted. I don't know if it's too much or not enough water, or if the plant just doesn't particularly like location, or if this is how it normally looks. Flower stem is strong and erect. If anybody famiiar with this plant could advise, I'd appreciate it. The flower is pretty, but am not otherwise impressed with plant.
